    I get the impression that the cops are about to hate facial recognition all of the sudden, for no particular reason

      There’s a reason ICE conceal their faces.

      They know what they’re doing is wrong and don’t want to be held accountable if their fascist rule collapses.

        Is that why the protestors wear them too?

      All they have to do is close the public sources of photo IDs. The tool itself isn’t anything special, anybody familiar with the tech can code something like this up in less than a day, hell ChatGPT can probably vibe code it for you.

    What are they so afraid of? They’re public servants, so they should be publicly identifiable. If they don’t like it, get off the government payroll

      What are they so afraid of?

      The drug lord or mafia boss that sends killers to eliminate their families ?

      Because criminals get out of jail and can go after their families. We had someone leave a bomb on the doorstep of a judge in our neighborhood.

        Such a shame. Anyway, I guess we’ll have to live with the consequences of technology.

        I wasn’t expecting crims to go after their own families, but I’m here for it….

        Was the judge a dick head?

          If I remember correctly they were convicted of embezzlement. Narcissists and psychopaths get mad when they are held accountable.

        Am I the only one who thinks police should be held to a higher standard of accountabilities?

          The police yes, but he is speaking about a convicted criminal that want revenge when he get out of jail. Or even without getting out of jail, sending some of his accomplices to do the job.

    Next we’ll see all US cops wearing masks in their regular day to day activities, like in the Watchmen series.
